1Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art who judgest; for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself, for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who commit such things.
3And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those who do such things and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5But because of thy hardness and impenitence of heart, thou treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the Day of Wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
6who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7to those who by patient continuance in welldoing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;
8but unto those who are contentious, and do not obey the truth but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man who doeth evil, upon the Jew first and also upon the Gentile;
10but glory, honor and peace to every man who worketh good, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law.
13(For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves,
15which shows the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts between accusing and excusing one another.)
16Thus will it be on the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
17Behold, thou art called a Jew and rest in the law and make thy boast of God,
18and knowest His will and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed from the law,
19and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21Thou therefore who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23Thou that makest thy boast in the law, dost thou dishonor God through breaking the law?
24For, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you," as it is written.
25For circumcision verily profiteth if thou keep the law; but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26Therefore if the Uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27And shall not uncircumcision, which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who having the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh.
29But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and whose circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter, and whose praise is not from men, but from God.
